Rock Worms
Rock Worms are creatures that recently appeared slowly after about CY 7400 years in the Heartlands of the Steel Realms of Helca. They were bred and raised by the Orrish of Helca shamans of Gloombringer to chew through the rock and create tunnels into the lands of light for the Orrish forces. There are special means of controlling them known only to their Worm Keepers (Nurthlings), otherwise they tend to die on their own. They typically have off-spawns of themselves – not able to reproduce, and these tentacled worm-like creatures are crawlers amongst the carrion. It is said that the loathsome Toothed Wormme children and even more foul rites are the origins of these creatures.
They are used to create Basic Orrish Cave Settlements – one of the many Cave Complexes of the Dark Lands.
